5) Peanut'Butter'Treat'Cups'
!
For this recipe we’d like to give it a Thanksgiving theme! We’ll replace the
strawberry preserve topping with chocolate mousse and then create a turkey
face with a yellow M&M, dotted eyes, & a nose and beak made of frosting).
Finally, you surround the chocolate mousse with candy corn to complete the
Thanksgiving turkey design!

6) Mini'Cinnamon'Graham'Loaves'
!
I’d like to show this recipe being cooked in alternate pans instead of
the mini loaf pans so that you can either create a triangle shaped
loaf for an X-Mas tree or put two halves together to create a
pumpkin for a Thaksgiving theme. The reference photos below show
how the decorations would then be applied to the top to complete
the looks!
